FlowSavvy vs Time-Block Planner (2026): which should you pick?

Pick FlowSavvy if

• Fits if you want tasks dropped onto your calendar without dragging blocks yourself
• Works for people who already keep events in Google, Outlook.com or iCloud

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a native Mac or Windows app, as on a computer it runs in the browser
• Tight if you're staying free and plan far ahead, since Basic only schedules 2 weeks out with 3 repeating tasks and 5 lists
• Not for you if you're planning for a team, because it's built for one person
• Watch out: priorities, dependencies, writing tasks back to your calendar and the API all need Pro
• Pricey if you pay monthly, at $14 against $10 a month billed yearly

Pick Time-Block Planner if

• Fits if you plan your day in blocks and use Google Calendar
• Works for people who want a free planner with no sign-up

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: without an account the data sits in the browser, and clearing it deletes the plan
• Skip it if you rely on Outlook or Apple Calendar, as only Google Calendar is read
• Not for you if you want a phone app, because none is listed
• Watch out: it is run by an individual, and the terms say it may be changed or stopped

FlowSavvy

• Basic schedules only 2 weeks ahead and is limited to 3 repeating auto-scheduled tasks, 5 task lists and 1 set of scheduling hours.
• Priority levels, task dependencies, syncing tasks out to other calendars, and the API, MCP and Zapier integrations all require Pro.
• There is no native desktop app. On a computer it runs in the browser or as an installed progressive web app.
• The vendor aims it at individuals and does not offer team or enterprise features.

Time-Block Planner

• Web only; the site lists no iOS, Android or desktop app.
• Without an account, data lives in the browser's storage, and clearing it deletes the plan.
• Calendar access is read-only and limited to Google Calendar.
• The terms say it is run by an individual and may be changed or stopped.

FlowSavvy

Auto-scheduling

Places tasks into open time on the calendar based on due dates and durations, and can split a task around events. Basic plans 2 weeks ahead and Pro 8 weeks.

Automatic rescheduling

The schedule is rebuilt whenever an event or task changes, and a Recalculate button puts missed tasks back on the calendar. Reschedules are unlimited on both plans.

Scheduling hours

Sets of hours such as work or personal define when tasks may be scheduled. Basic includes one set; Pro allows unlimited profiles.

Calendar sync

Two-way sync with Google Calendar, Outlook.com and iCloud on both plans. Writing FlowSavvy tasks back to those calendars is a Pro feature.

Priorities and dependencies

Pro adds priority levels and dependency chains for tasks that must follow an order. On the free plan, tasks are prioritized by due date.

Task app sync, API and MCP

Syncs tasks with Todoist, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and Apple Reminders. A public API, an MCP server for ChatGPT and Claude, and Zapier are Pro-only.

Time-Block Planner

Drag-to-block grid

Drag on the day grid to block time, or double-click for 30 minutes; keyboard shortcuts such as N for the next free slot are listed.

Re-plan

When the day runs off-plan, re-plan starts a new column from the current time and keeps the old plan.

Shutdown

A shutdown step closes out open tasks and carries the rest to tomorrow.

Tasks, notes and metrics

A task list, a notes area and daily metrics for deep work hours, energy and exercise sit beside the plan.

Calendar view

Connect Google Calendar, read-only, to show meetings in the plan.

Asana and AI assistants

The privacy policy says Asana tasks assigned to you can be planned, and an assistant such as Claude can read and edit the planner once you allow it.
